DCF BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION AND
SCREENING (BOAS) QUIZES WITH
ACCURATE ANSWERS
Terms in this set (28)
Observation Is when a child care worker recognizes and notes
and identifiable performance or behavior and
uses instruments such as checklists, anecdotal
records and running records. The instruments are
used to measure progress against a standard
and to share results with assessment experts.
Screening Means an instrument intended to identity and
monitor normal development or possible
developmental delay. Screening programs are
not diagnostic, and are not based on whether a
child has passed a certain curriculum.
Why do we need this course? This course is required by Florida statue 402.305
which describes "licensing standards, child care
programs."
, Key benefits of developmental - early detection of problems allows for timely
screening referral for invention.
- the caregivers attention can be focused on
activities that strengthen the child's skills.
- Increased volume and quality of
information available to the parents regarding
"in-the-home" activities that support normal
development.
- provides a common reference point and basis
for interaction for parents, child care
workers,
and child development specialist.
Proper screening Leads to sound assessment so that early
detection of potential developmental delays will
determine the correct referral and intervention.
Why do we use the analogy of When a window is open, air and other things have
a window window when we free access to the space within, but when the
discuss brain development? window is closed, nothing can get through the
window.
Principles if child development - development in young children occurs rapidly
and typically progresses in spurts.
- all children develop at their own rates
because each child is unique. Heredity and
environment work together to make each
child special and different from all others.
Together, these factors account for the
individual variations you see in
children.
Six developmental domains 1. Physical health
2.Motor development
3.Cognitive development & general knowledge
4. Language & communication
5.Approaches to learning
6.Social & emotional
